Skateboarders look at life through the lens of, “Can I skate that?” Non-skateboarders look at rails, steps, and walls and see architecture or design; skateboards see an opportunity and challenge! (Paul Tripp would know; his sons were avid skateboarders as teens.) For Christians, hope is the lens we must look through to see life from this perspective: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.”

If you live in a fallen world, there are things to be afraid of. Fear is not a sinful thing, and preparing for the future and making plans to protect yourself against what the Bible warns about is wise. But there is something stronger than fear that must characterize a follower of Jesus Christ: hope. In this first sermon in a six-part series on hope, Paul Tripp uses Romans 8 to warn about life in a fallen world and outlines the practical and study hope we have as children of God.

Those six words - “but by the grace of God” - may be the most important words ever spoken or written. Without them, there is no hope for us.

The theology of the Bible is never meant to be impersonal, abstract, or academic; it's meant to be life-giving and life-changing. No Christian theology is more important than the resurrection, and in this sermon, Paul Tripp applies the practical truths of the resurrection to the everyday struggles of marriage, family, career, and finances.
